The tour schedule was planned in such a way that each family spent five days in the UAE, and the total length of the group’s stay in the country extended from April 6 to 17. Tourists visited the main attractions of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
Dubai authorities have developed a plan to receive and service such a large tourist group. A special regime was introduced even at the international airport of the emirate city, where special passport control desks will be organized for Chinese tourists. In 2013, more than 11 million tourists visited Dubai. Most tourists came to Dubai from Saudi Arabia (1.2 million people), as well as India, the UK and the USA. In the coming years, Dubai plans to receive 20 million foreign visitors annually.
